  1. Hi Guys,

    the mrs and i have a trip to kuala lumpur planned and a trip to tokyo.  I have bought some ringitt here in hua hin already, but i dont want to carry too much cash with me (else the mrs will hit the shops hard!) ????

     

    what is the best / cheapest way to get hold of local currency whilst abroad?  i have a kasikorn debit card, uk credit cards, paypal account, wise account....

     

    i feel that using baht to buy currency means that i am paying to exchange twice (ie pounds > baht > yen/ringitt)

     

    are there any more efficient methods to get pounds converted to local currency?  credit cards are normally expensive / offer poor rates, right? any cool apps that will let me deposit pounds in uk and withdraw cash cheaply in asian countries?

     

    also, KL/Tokyo are not going to be cashless are they, and i need to swipe for everything, rather than pay cash?

  2. i went to a ganja fair recently and a thai grower there told me if you plant some thai egg plants (มะเขือ - the ones served in green curry) near your ganja plants then you get lots of lady bugs / lady birds.  the lady bugs then in turn will eat all the spider mites that venture onto the ganja plants.  he was an experienced grower.

     

    anyone else heard this or tried this? i get quite a problem with spider mites, so may give it a try - plus i love green curry ????

  3. after 10 years of driving here, i have learnt that nobody has right of way!  each and every scenario must be weighed up and considered before pushing in / out 

     

    being a passenger sometimes in my mate's car when he thinks he has right of way, and someone pushes out and he gets angry, just proves this to me ????

    Those are seeds that have formed. There's no such thing as "male seeds"... you're a little confused on how the plant works. Either some pollen landed on your plant and made some seeds, or the plant produced some unnoticed hermaphrodite (male) flowers and self-pollinated. But either way, they're not "male seeds."

    ok i will look closely at the rest oif the plant and look for pollen sacs......  thanks PPK ???? 

     

    i dont think there is another source of pollen nearby, as i have moved the plant 10 metres plus away from the other plants we have, and i did find a couple of sacs on this plant down the stem, but i thought i had removed them all. 

     

    glad to hear that these are seeds, rather than sacs, as there was quite a few of them and it looked a real task to remove them all

     

    PS a friend did tell me that as there are so many people growing now, there will be a lot of pollen in the air / on isnects etc, so it will be easy for outdoor plants to become pollinated.  any truth in that you think?
